INTRODUCTION 


i3 


The  Public  Library  of  the  District  of  Columbia  furnishes  to 
the  Public  Schools  of  the  city,  through  the  school  stations  and 
through  the  cooperation  of  the  grade  teachers,  many  thousands 
of  books  during  the  school  year.  It  is  more  and  more  forced 
on  the  attention  of  the  library  that  numerically  only  a  small 
portion  of  the  children  of  Washington  are  being  satisfactorily 
reached  by  the  main  library  and  its  one  branch.  It  is  to  the 
schools,  reaching  every  locality,  to  which  the  library  looks  for 
help  in  solving  the  problem.  A  book  in  the  hands  of  a 
teacher  and  recommended  by  her  carries  great  weight.  There- 
fore by  sending  small  libraries  to  all  of  the  schools,  more  par- 
ticularly the  distant  ones,  we  hope  to  reach  the  right  child  with 
the  right  book  at  the  right  time.  Any  teacher  may  select  or 
request  the  library  to  select  one  book  for  each  child  in  her 
class  or  any  number  of  books  up  to  fifty,  w^hich  Avill  be  sent 
to  her  by  the  library  and  called  for  at  the  end  of  tw^o  months, 
after  notification,  unless  she  desires  to  retain  them  for  a  longer 
period.  For  the  convenience  of  the  teachers  and  to  advise 
them  of  the  material  to  be  had  for  supplementary  v/ork  and 
for  pleasurable  reading  this  graded  and  annotated  catalog  of 
books  has  been  prepared.  It  has  been  arranged  by  subject 
that  the  material  on  the  w^ork  being  studied  may  be  readily 
found.  There  is  also  an  author  index.  Many  of  the  books 
listed  in  a  certain  grade  w^ill  be  found  useful  in  a  low^er  or 
higher  grade,  the  grading  being  only  suggestive.

If  you  should  ever  have  a  story  of  your  own  to  tell,

Crusoe"  for  a  model ;  if  you  ever  want  to  make  a  good 
record  of  any  adventure  of  your  own  by  sea  or  land,  I 
advise  you  to  take  "Robinson  Crusoe"  for  a  model ;  and 
if  you  do,  you  will  not  waste  words  in  painting  sunsets 
or  in  decorating  storms  and  sea  waves.

awakened  pity  in  the  hearts  of  sixty  millions  of  people. 
He  made  a  whole  generation  keep  Christmas  with  acts 
of  helpfulness  to  the  poor;  and  every  barefooted  boy 
and  girl  in  the  streets  of  England  and  America  to-day 
fares  a  little  better,  gets  fewer  cuffs  and  more  pudding, 
because  Charles  Dickens  lived  and  wrote."
